<quoted text> Of course, be aware of a very different perspective & attitude of government by the founders.They were the ones in the trenches of the fight for independence which of course But 1; they had to have some formula. 2. Our nation was young enough, new enough, a little naive, quite inexperienced & idealistic enough to NOT realize what effect career politicians would have.Remember, they expected 'Citizen Representation', NOT 40 yr reps.

That's because it paid nothing. Serving in federal government was looked at similar to serving in the military today. You didn't get squat and only the satisfaction of serving for your fellow Americans.

Now these jokers give themselves raises as if they were good little employees. No input on our behalf. They get up there and stomp their feet about CEO's and their golden parachute, but never bother to explain their retirement benefits to us. How is it they all leave the Congress millionaires if not multi-millionaires?

I constantly hear those violin stories about how they sleep in their offices while in DC because they have nowhere else to stay. Well, instead of voting for raises, why don't they vote for an apartment complex where they could stay while working?

<quoted text>I have never figured out how or why abortion made it to the Supremes since I am confused as what their jurisdiction is. Some one want to enlighten me?

Here's where it started:"In June 1969, Norma L. McCorvey discovered she was pregnant with her third child. She returned to Dallas, Texas, where friends advised her to assert falsely that she had been raped in order to obtain a legal abortion (with the understanding that Texas law allowed abortion in cases of rape and incest). However, this scheme failed because there was no police report documenting the alleged rape. She attempted to obtain an illegal abortion, but found the unauthorized site had been closed down by the police. Eventually, she was referred to attorneys Linda Coffee and Sarah Weddington.[8](McCorvey would give birth before the case was decided.)

In 1970, Coffee and Weddington filed suit in a U.S. District Court in Texas on behalf of McCorvey (under the alias Jane Roe). The defendant in the case was Dallas County District Attorney Henry Wade, representing the State of Texas. McCorvey was no longer claiming her pregnancy was the result of rape, and later acknowledged that she had lied about having been raped.[9][10] "Rape" is not mentioned in the judicial opinions in this case.[11]

The district court ruled in McCorvey's favor on the legal merits of her case, and declined to grant an injunction against the enforcement of the laws barring abortion.[11] The district court's decision was based upon the 9th Amendment, and the court relied upon a concurring opinion by Justice Arthur Goldberg in the 1965 Supreme Court case of Griswold v. Connecticut,[12] finding in the decision for a right to privacy.[13]"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roe_v._Wade

The District Court's decision was appealed by those that opposed legal abortion. That eventually led to the Supreme Court decision.

why should we support anyone in any form of the law and government? there is no such thing as justice for all. no one honors the constitution and there are no honest and fair law enforcment in any form.

<quoted text>I have never figured out how or why abortion made it to the Supremes since I am confused as what their jurisdiction is. Some one want to enlighten me?

The SCOTUS only takes cases that it chooses to take. A case arrives at the SC through a petition for a writ of certiorari. That is a petition explaining to the court why the side that lost in the lower court believes the case involves a federal constitutional right. In Roe v. Wade, Roe made the argument that the law criminalizing her abortion violated her right to privacy under the 1st, 4th, 5th, 9th and 14th amendments. At least four justices have to agree to hear the case.

<quoted text>TRUE. Which is supposed to create a good governmental balance which it seems has failed to do so since at least FDR if not B4 him.It's a shame that the system doesn't work as intended.Another reason for term limits.

Robert Bork's nomination was stopped by the Senate. At least a couple of W.'s picks were aborted short of making it to the court.

American Electric Power donating $2 million derived from American Electric Power marketing this $2 million in the price of American Electric Power.

And hold consumers of American Electric Power accountable to fund $2 million donation. With money derived from wages (union contract) investment and independent business profit.

This defies USA Labor Law, The Constitution, and demands of Natural Law: what Mother Nature, God, or Whatever Power decreed to be the reality of the real world, democracy, capitalism, the US Constitution, and free, fair, and affordable commerce and common sense demands.

Demanding American Electric Power and every Stockholder, corporation, farmer, business, outsourcer sweatshop, and nonprofit, tax-exempt, organization and Church; markets the cost in the wholesale and retail price of his or her product and service; of every worker, consumer, and taxpayer's wages (union contract), healthcare, pension, investment and independent business profit.

This enables every worker, consumer, and taxpayer to pay healthcare insurance premium or pay healthcare provider. Pay ALL taxes and pay for electricity and every product and service they use for life. With money derived from wages, investment profit, and independent business profit.

And enables every parent to educate, love, nurse, nurture, discipline, protect, and provide; for every child (job) they conceive. And fund schools, infrastructure, local and national security, government services, and etc.; with money derived from wages, investment profit, and independent business profit.

Defying USA Labor Law, the Constitution, and Realities demands makes it IMPOSSIBLE for President Obama and Congress to avoid fiscal cliff and balance every budget. Makes free, fair, and affordable commerce IMPOSSIBLE; Makes funding schools IMPOSSIBLE; Makes Union workers, consumers, taxpayers, and Americas grandchildren's children life UNAFFORDABLE; and created Ohios $1.35 trillion budget deficit, the $40 trillion social security and the $16 trillion national debt. Americas grandchildrens children are responsible to pay Chinese, Foreign and Domestic Investors and Stockholders interest with this debt until they are 18 years old.

Americas grandchildrens children cannot afford life and pay this debt with the $7.25 per hour Government mandated labor wage in a hundred million years.

<quoted text>The judiciary at the federal level should not be subject to electoral politics. It's bad enough at the state level where people are elected because they have Irish names.I would limit federal judges to no more than 15 years at one level, and possibly allow them to be nominated by state governors instead of the President, with the exception of the Supreme Court.

sure but they are supposed to decide if existing laws are constitutional, not pass them from the bench. Its an abuse of power.

look at it this way, if you're have a group of large corporate special interests, who can't force a new bill into law using our elected republic ( insurance and pharmy corporations), then you're petition probably isn't even reviewed. They probably immediately place it on the docket. http://shtf411.com/supreme-court-inc-bought-o...

Akron Childrens Hospital seeking volunteers without wages to help with fund raising campaign; is defiant of USA Labor Law, The Constitution, and demands of Natural Law: what Mother Nature, God, or Whatever Power decreed to be the reality of the real world, democracy, capitalism, the US Constitution, and free, fair, and affordable commerce and common sense demands.

Demanding every Stockholder, corporation, farmer, business, outsourcer sweatshop, and nonprofit, tax-exempt, organization and Church; markets the cost in the wholesale and retail price of his or her product and service; of every worker, consumer, and taxpayer's wages (union contract), healthcare, pension, investment and independent business profit.

This enables every worker, consumer, and taxpayer to pay healthcare insurance premium or pay healthcare provider. Pay ALL taxes, Fund Akron Childrens Hospital, and pay for every product and service they use for life. With money derived from wages, investment profit, and independent business profit.

And enables every parent to educate, love, nurse, nurture, discipline, protect, and provide; for every child (job) they conceive. And fund schools, infrastructure, local and national security, government services, and etc.; with money derived from wages, investment profit, and independent business profit.

The majority of Us the Government of this Representative Republic that vote and the nonvoters that sit on their dead hands and whine; reelected Obnoxious President, Governor, Representatives of US the Government, County Commissioners, Township Trustees, Mayors, City Council, School Administrators and Board Members.

To fund Illegal drug users and Immigrants, lottery, casino, and keno losers, unemployed Union workers replaced with nonunion workers, Human Traffickers, waitresses that pander for life for $2.00 per hour, slaves in tax abated enterprise zones, low-income child labor, consumers, and taxpayers, volunteers without wages, and nonunion workers willing to work for fewer wages than they can afford life. That pays with welfare checks, food stamps, housing vouchers, and Medicaid.

Defying USA Labor Law, the Constitution, and Realities demands makes it IMOPOSSIBLE for President Obama and Congress to avoid fiscal cliff. Makes free, fair, and affordable commerce IMPOSSIBLE; Makes funding schools IMPOSSIBLE; Makes balancing every budget IMPOSSIBLE; Makes Union workers, consumers, taxpayers, and Americas grandchildren's children life UNAFFORDABLE; and created Ohios $1.35 trillion budget deficit, the $40 trillion social security and the $16 trillion national debt. Americas grandchildrens children are responsible to pay Chinese, Foreign and Domestic Investors and Stockholders interest with this debt until they are 18 years old.

Americas grandchildrens children cannot afford life and pay this debt with the $7.25 per hour Government mandated labor wage in a hundred million years.

I just heard an interesting interview with an obama campaigner who said she helped american citizens with id cards from other countries , get ohio state drivers licenses. I'm leaving out a link because I'm sure it will be in the corporate news soon. You're going to love this lady.

As an American citizen with overseas ID, I'm not really quite sure why this would be outrageous. I used my overseas ID as secondary ID, the last time I had to get another driver's license in the US.

Are you not ignoring the Elephant in the room? Republicans have slipped so far down the popularity ladder that they KNOW they cannot win without cheating, ie. Rigging the election process.After all Obama got 5 Million more votes and Dems got more votes in the House, Senate and more votes overall.

That is how deep the GOP Brand has sank down the proverbial shithole. Those are just the facts.

I think it should be illegal and here's why. Let's say you used to live in new jersey. You shouldn't be able to come to a state and give them any old address to get a license. You should have to prove your residence for voter registration so close to election time. Especially in a swing state. So I think it should be illegal.How do you think californians like everybody abusing their medical marijuana laws? They don't.
